Lovely job Malc, and fantastic fleet. I prefer the MkII to the MkI Wouldnt mind one myself, although that MkI Escort is giving me a twinge. Is it a real Mexico?

To be honest, I think they are better than a mope pound for pound.

Keep the pictures coming. Will be great to see them coming along.

I wouldn't buy a car from somewhere with a floor like that, it's disgraceful!

I ca\n just picture that floor with half a chicken, corn on the cob and some spuds on it, and me sitting down getting ready to tuck in. Yep, I think I could eat my dinner off it.

Very impressive Mal. Mk1 or Mk2 for me please

But werent the MkIIs called Ford Cortina Lotus, rather than Lotus Cortina?

Summat to do with the fact that they were built by Ford at Dagenham and not by Lotus, cos it was around the time that Lotus moved from Cheshunt to Norwich...

Think that's the first time I've been called that. A very proud moment, thanks Clivey

(I'm usually stuck in the corner with the dunce's hat wondering WTF you're all talking about

Go on then Malc, how many bags would that set me back?

If I had it, it would deffo get a roll cage and a bit of lowering. Absolutely lovely piece of kit.
